fields mentioned above. Women were forced to find
new jobs to support themselves such as the

Jane Eyre, The Feminist Tract In 1837 critic
Robert Southey wrote to Charlotte Bronte,
Literature cannot be the business of a womans
life, and it ought not to be. The more she is
engaged in her proper duties, the less leisure
will she have for it, even as an accomplishment
and a recreation, (Gaskell 102). This opinion was
not held by only one person, but by many. Indeed,
it is this attitude, one that debases women and
their abilities, to which Charlotte Bronte
responds with Jane Eyre. The purpos...

of deep affection at least as much as it was an
act of sexual expression, says Anthony Rotundo,
attempting to define the boundaries between
romantic friendship and erotic love, in relation
to same gender friendships, in the late nineteenth
century ...
